Help with gcse for job?

Question

What gcse's are essential when becoming a midwife, and what additional ones are needed. I'm sorry, i have no idea about gcse's, a little help?

Answer 1

Usually to study midwifery you need to go to university so you'll need 3 A-Levels (at C grade or above) as well as GCSEs.

4 or 5 GCSEs at A-C grade will get you into college. Ideally at GCSE you need to do a Science, Maths, English, Health and Social Care (but this one isn't really a necessity) and a few others perhaps Sociology or Psychology.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Hi, I dont think it would be down to GCSE's to be honest.

I think you would more than likely have to take a college/uni course on midwifery maybe? Im not sure of the course title to be truthful but it would be something like that.

But to get into college, then your GCSE's would come into play. Usually 5 'A-C' grade GCSE's required for college entry.

Answer 3

I would say English, Maths (compulsory for getting into college) and double Health and Social care. It may be called childcare or something like that, but its the same thing. You will also need to do well in science, at least a C.

That will get you into a decent college course and onto university if you choose to go. Just focus on any subjects to do with children and healthcare.

Best of luck hun
